FRONT ROTORS PROBLEM

I drove the Cougar over 90K miles. Automatic transmission, still averaging 23.5 Miles per gallong. I usually cruise at 85-90 Miles per Hour. The car is still driving strong but it was not built as well as I thought and it started to fall apart. Minor things for the most but the biggest problem has been the FRONT ROTORS that KEEP ON WORPING. I do drive quite aggressively and brake accordingly but I had to bring the car back for rotors replacements twice and had them substituted twice till I decided to shallow out a few hundreds for high performance parts. The sunroot too is easily damageable, twice I had to have it fixed.

The short, round the block test drive I took with the new 2002 Mercury Cougar (2.5 v6), did not do this car justice. I bought the car however, based on other factors as well (price, fuel economy, options etc). After a few days of really getting the feel for this car on the open road, I began to realize the true sports car nature of this vehicle. Crisp, sure-handling, power and performance make for an effortless, yet exciting driving experience. You can really feel the sports car lurking within the Cougar on the curves. Smooth and sure-footed. The engine and transmission are smooth and responsive as well, with plenty passing power on the freeways.

I love my 2002 Cougar. It's so fun to drive and the V6 really has kick for the amount of $$ spent. It really is too bad that they've discontinued it. I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to haul people around. I used to play chauffer for everyone with my 4 door family car, but no more!
Don't buy this car!

I'd driven this car before so when it came time to buy I didn't waste any time comparing or looking on Edmunds.com I found the hard way that you should always research what you buy, even if you (think you) know what you are getting. Here's what I found: 1) the I4 engine is not powerful enough to run the airconditioning while driving up hill 2) You get no acceleration with this engine. Maybe I have high expectations since I am in Germany and I'm rolling down the Autobahn next to BMWs and Audis but when you get the Autobahn you have to keep up!
GrrrrrrWOWllll!!!!

I had been drooling over a Prelude SH until I drove one and kept asking myself if I wanted to spend all that money on something so plain and basic as the SH is.... Once I spotted a Cougar, I researched it and fell head over heels for it. The third day we owned it, a teenage girl ran a stop sign and had this car not been able to react during a swerve and skid she would have totaled this car... I never felt like the car was out of control... Wonderful car!!! C2 model's a definite plus...
